Jarrow is an industrial town in northeast England, on the River Tyne, near Newcastle. For a long time people there built ships and made steel. Around 1930 those jobs fell away in the Great Depression, the hard years when many people had no work, and the town became a picture of that hurt. In 1936 a large group of unemployed men walked from Jarrow to London to ask the government for work and to show how bad things were. That walk is the Jarrow March, the most famous of the British hunger marches of the 1920s and 1930s. If you meet the name in a history class, that march is usually why. Though actually the town is much older than the factories: there was a famous monastery there in the early Middle Ages, and the scholar Bede lived and wrote at Jarrow. In English it is only this place name (and sometimes a family name from the place), always with a capital J.
賈羅(英格蘭東北工業城;以1936年「賈羅大遊行」聞名)
組成From Middle English Jarwe, Jaruum, from Old English on Ġyrwum, “(at the) marshes”, from ġyru, “mud; marsh”, from an old Germanic word for mud. The J sound in the Middle English name comes from a sound change before a palatal ġ (compare singe). Scholars take it further back to a very old root connected with warmth.
